Topic: Gas flow equation in elevated pipeline

Figure 1: Natural-gas transmission pipelines

Based on the assumptions that there is no elevation change in the pipeline and that the condition
of flow is isothermal, the integrated Bernoulli’s equation is expressed by

∆H is positive when pipe line is elevated
